Paste Screenshots to Debug Visual Bugs

When something looks wrong in the browser, don't try to describe it — just show Claude Code.

Claude Code is multimodal, so you can drag and drop a screenshot directly into the conversation:

"Here's a screenshot of the broken sidebar. Can you fix the overlap?"

Claude will inspect the image, identify the visual issue, and look at the relevant template or CSS to propose a fix. This works for layout problems, styling bugs, broken dark mode, or components that don't render correctly.

You can also reference an image file on disk:

# Take a screenshot, then point Claude to it
"Look at /tmp/screenshot.png — the card grid isn't responsive on mobile"

For best results, crop the screenshot to the relevant area and combine it with a file reference:

"Here's a screenshot. The template is in resources/views/dashboard.blade.php"

You can even paste two screenshots for before/after comparisons — Claude will spot the difference and trace it back to the code.

The key principle: show Claude the bug, don't describe it. A screenshot removes all ambiguity about what you're seeing.

Detect and Fix Memory Leaks in Your Node.js Application with Claude

Debug API and MCP Issues with --debug

The --debug flag enables verbose logging for Claude Code, and an optional category filter like "api,mcp" lets you narrow output to exactly the subsystem you need to investigate.
